Thoughts about the issues of living, thinking, eating, breathing and other unmentionable acts as "Chinedu"; a mortal hunk of flesh.
I have a fascination for words - I think words have an ability, a power of their own to take on life and provide meaning, to cause action, change or destruction...
On my beach - things are varied but there are always lessons to be learned and you can never really tell how far the rabbit hole goes.
A soap opera of thoughts expressed as words...

Missed out on last week's dead line... I had my words lined up when suddenly - I had to go. How was the week end for most of you? I trust you got some good stuff out of it - I know I did.

Have been preoccupied lately so I'm no more as regular as I would like to be... I'll try to get back to some kind of schedule...
I'm doing some implementation stuff for my company at a morgage bank, here in abuja - it may sound glamorous but it's like spagetti - wet and listless...

We're gearing up for the next round of strikes that should render us immobile - methinks it will hit home more this time around...
I hope that I'm in the right palce at the right time when this occurs...

Anyway - will write soon so bear with me - my mind as usual is in a runt
ciao!

I should be shot! Brutalized - hanged, fed to the jackals...
I don't know what came over me but methinks it's gone! I can't believe that I kept away from this pervasive medium of expression (no wonder I was feeling cranky for that length of time...), this miracle of the modern millenium...

To err is only human, to forgive - that's asking for a lot but I'm determined to beg, plead or do what ever it takes to get me back into your good books...
So much for my efforts...

I've been away for almost a month yet it feels almost like I left yesterday... The rains are trying to announce the end of their sojourn with us and the intensity of the sun is like moving into your oven... Welcoming the dry season.

Recently, events have proven beyond reasonable doubt that weather or should I say climatic conditions are going haywire... Recent Typhoons, Hurricanes and gale winds the likes of which only holloywood creates have come to hunt us for real...
As if that's not enough, a swarm of locusts, breeding with an intensity that we can only imagine is carving a path across some parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa - leaving devastation in its wake... Stripping all available vegetation in its way bare...

Also...
In Nigeria - citizens are recently emerging from the bunkers due to a four day warning strike initiated by a coalition of labour organisations - a sit @ home strike that left the nation in a state of paralyisis... Abandoned streets and work places.
Reason - recent hike in petroluem product pricing - based on the price in the international market - which is now above $50...
The irony can't be lost, when u wonder why a country that produces crude oil for the international market still has to import refined petroleum products into the country for domestic use... especially when the President, initiated a ban on importations... ironies of Nigeria! Don't get me started!

Good to be back - missed the lot of you; what's a man without his muse - eh!
Till later - which is a lot sooner than u think,
regards

Welcome weary stranger...

You are here...
Truth be told there's no better place to be. It will not always be nice, it may not always appeal to you and for this I'm sorry.
But...
If you're like me and quest for the power and mastery of words and the ability to understand human behaviour then maybe you've come to the right place...
I can be vulgar, boring, nice, philosophical (forgive my spelling) whatever mood I find myself...
that said - welcome.
